Printer Menus

9. Pre-Purge

Use this option to keep the print heads from drying out
and to clear the inkjet nozzles automatically while operat-
ing the printer.

A. Purge at Start

If you have long breaks of twenty seconds or more before
starting another batch of records, this option will purge on
the first piece before printing the records.

B. Periodic Purge

This option will activate the periodic purge.

C. Purge Interval

This option will purge the ink cartridges at timed intervals
on a piece. Set the time to determine when to purge the
ink cartridges. The printer will pause for a few seconds af-
ter the purge pattern is printed. Each timed interval begins
from the last purge print pattern. This item can be set from
020 to 240 seconds.

D. Nozzle Keep Alive

This option will randomly purge the individual nozzles
of the print cartridges to keep the ink from clogging the
nozzles and to create a virtually invisible pattern of dots
on the media. The printer will continually purge except
when another pre- purge is pending and while the records
are being printed.

For instructions how to use the menus and select an op-
tion, refer to page A-4.
